MAN it's like trespasser is running on steroids god damnit!!! At the beach, it runs as smooth as any other fps game (= 50+ fps)!! It's beautiful too!! looks much better than it does under windows! man it's awesome!!!!

Until, ofcourse, the software rendered stuff comes into the view... then the framerate drops to like.. 0,3 fps.. >=( Well.. still looks as beautiful.. but that's not really comforting at all...

There has to be a way to fix this hardware problem. Since it runs so great until dinos, shotguns, boxes, etc. come into frame, there should be a way to fix it. I've tried to find the answers, but as I'm no hacker, so I don't even know the right questions. Remdul how about you? You said a while back you were going to check out Linux. How about now?

I'm really a windows guy, but I've started to like linux now that I've seen how good games really perform! If I can get cakewalk and reason to run, I think I'm gonna stay with linux, because then I have no reason to switch to windows.

Before, I've tried Mandrake 7, redhat 6, redhat 8.2 (I think), and now I have mandrake 9.1. At first, when had mandrake 7, I couldn't even install a program, so I gave up after a couple of days. .hehe.. redhat 6 didn't support my graphics card, so I couldn't start x.. for some reason.. Well, I still have some problems when compiling stuff, but there's always a .rpm file somewhere on the net..

By the way, I installed quake 3 arena (linux version), and it runs like a dream! The only problem is that it doesn't seem to react to mouse movement (when I move it, nothing happens), so it's really unplayable.. The mouse buttons do work though..

So the mouse problem happens just when you try to run this game? There should be a quake forum that would have an answer somewhere. It's almost for sure that someone else has had that problem. I found this...
I used Mandrake 9.0 for a long time, but switched to RH 9 because I didn't like Mdk 9.1 and 9.2. You have URPMI with Mdk, and it works pretty good, but I like apt-get RPM much better. Downloading and installing packages is almost effortless...

I didn't buy the game for linux, I just installed the first pointrelease that I found, which was 1.32 (not 1.32b), and then I copied the pak0.pk3 file from my q3 (windows version) cd to the baseq3 directory. I read that it's possible to do so if you've got the windows cd and want to play under linux.. and it worked. But then there was that ugly mouse problem....

Now, if I could only get halflife to run properly under winex... It runs in software mode, but in opengl mode, it freezes when loading a level... You said you play TFC.... so, does hl run properly on your machine?

HL, TF and all it's mods run flawlessly under winex. Make sure you have the latest HL update before trying to run though. Also, it won't run right with the "nv" drivers that came with the distro. You must update to the latest nvidia drivers like what we were talking about.

I have hl 1.1.1.0, and I've installed the nvidia drivers (otherwise I wouldn't be able to run trespasser in h/w mode at blistering fps...), but it doesn't work.. it freezes when I try to load a level.

During install, Mandrake gives the choice of doing auto login, where you bypass kdm/gdm/xdm, without having to type in username and password. For some reason, using autologin gives permission errors with nvidia when trying to launch halflife. If you're using auto login, that could be the source of the problem.
